MicroOS (and its flavors) update the same way Android does; as a full image

They don't. They update with regular packages. The updates are atomic though and are only applied at next boot, so there's less of a risk of weird breakages.

Germany Has Too Many Solar Panels, and It's Pushed Energy Prices Negative in c/green@lemmy.ml
[–] fr0g@feddit.de 1 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

I guess that depends. If the costs to invest in storage is cheaper long term than losing money from excess energy, then energy companies would lose less money and thus could offer cheaper prices. But it would definitely help decrease or get rid of negative prices.

In isolation, it's very obviously a bad thing, because it makes solar less profitable and might slow down the switch to renewables.

In a wider context, it can still be seen as a god thing as it means there has been a significant pivot to solar already and luckily it's also a very solvable problem. There just needs to be more energy storage.

Tesla’s Sales in Europe Fall to a 15-Month Low in c/europe@feddit.de

up to 60 km/h, only on Autobahn

Huh, how does that go together? Aren't you supposed to go at least 80 or something on an autobahn?

It does not give context. They were deported by Belgium.

Is any of that relevant or the family's fault?

Which are the F-Droid apps everyone should download? in c/foss@beehaw.org
[–] fr0g@feddit.de 4 points 6 months ago (1 children)

This is the best FOSS keyboard that's under active maintenance.

I assume that might be a reference to FlorisBoard? Because development on that one as actually picked up again, but that's only visible so far if you're using the Beta version. They're opreparing for a new full release.

A lot of the mainstream apps definitely have privacy issues. They often sell data about their users menstrual cycles which can theoretically be bought by anti-abortion activists/authorities on the free market to track whether someone might be pregnant.

Help improve OpenStreetMap with StreetComplete in c/foss@beehaw.org
[–] fr0g@feddit.de 4 points 6 months ago

StreetComplete and its expert editions are definitely my favourite way to contribute to OpenStreetMaps on mobile. There's also Vespucci which allows you to do more complex stuff like add paths and shape, but the UI isn't super great imo. Organic Maps which I use for navigation actually allows you to edit and contribute quite a bit.

YouTube is finally cracking down on third-party apps that enable ad-blocking in c/technology@lemmy.world

Which is at least less than all the other big platforms are taking.

Or maybe the original post was simply muted for a different reason.

[Feature Request] Search via Instance X/universal search (feddit.de)
 

(Hoping this post will finally make it throug now that federation issues are fixed) One of the main pain points of lemmy imo is that it is hard to find/be aware of communities your instance hasn't been connected to. In my previous app, Liftoff, I was kind of able to get around that by quickly switching to the default mode (basically guest mode for lemmy.world) and search for communities via lemmy.world, as that is one of the biggest and most well connected instances, and then subscribe via my regular account.

I wonder if there could be a way to implement something like that in Voyager. Voyager already has a guest mode that also defaults to lemmy.world, but it's not really easily accessible anymore once logged in. Being able to add a guest account to the switcher could be a quick way to make that a bit easier. Or maybe it would make more sense to add a "search via instance X" option to the search interface directly. There's also stuff like lemmyverse that aggregrates all instances and has an even more complete community search, but that would I assume be the most labour intensive way to implement a broader search feature like that.

Good FOSS 2D animation software (feddit.de)
submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by fr0g@feddit.de to c/foss@beehaw.org

I occasionally do some 2D animations, mostly just simple silly emotes, and gimp is proving to be a bit limited. So I looked at what 2D animation stuff flathub has to offer and there are several. The ones I found and that looked promising were synfig studio, pencil2D and glaxnimate.

Does anyone have any experience with those (or woud recommend somethibg else)? How do they stack up in terms of features, user-friendliness and maturity of the software. My only real requirement is that it should also be able to do some stuff with regular image files even if many things will probably work better with vectors. I will mostly be doing very basic beginner stuff.
